Everything You Need For A
Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Now that warmer weather has dawned upon us, I feel like I can pretend to be a functioning human being again, yay! In order for me to do that, I’m gonna have to look good for my big return into reality– and how, you ask, am I going to do that? A Summer capsule wardrobe!

A capsule wardrobe is essentially a collection of core items that you can mix and match in different variations over and over again to create several different outfits. The concept centers on a selection of versatile, long-lasting pieces that you absolutely love and will get the most use out of.

Just a quick disclaimer – there is no universally agreed upon number of items to have in a capsule wardrobe! I’ve seen people recommend as little as 20 items, and others as much as 50 per season!

By opting to structure your closet this way, not only are you saving yourself a lot of time getting ready in the morning, but you're also reducing fashion waste. Choosing to invest in items that will last in your wardrobe is a statement against the culture of fast fashion. Go, you!

With guidance from organizational queen, Marie Kondo, start your capsule wardrobe by clearing out the items that no longer “spark joy” – once you’re left with items you adore, you can see what items you may need to shop! Shop some of my recommendations for your ultimate Summer?capsule wardrobe
